Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of whole-body diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (WB-DW- MRI) in detecting metastases by comparing the results with those from choline-positron emission tomography-computed tomography (choline-PET/CT) in patients with metastatic/oligometastatic… Read more about this study

Study population: 46 consecutive patients given a diagnosis of prostate cancer by the Radiation Oncology Department of our center, between October 2014 and March 2015 who met the established inclusion criteria: a histological diagnosis of prostate cancer, and after treatment of the primary disease, a diagnosis of biochemical relapse and no metastases or oligometastatic stage (less than 5 lesions) in conventional diagnostic images (bone scintigraphy, chest-abdominal and pelvic CT and pelvic MRI).

Who may be able to join

  • Prostate cancer histologic diagnostic after one treatment
  • 5 o less lessions
  • Asimptomatic lessions
  • Informed Consent Form signed

Who cannot join

  • Not capability to perform NMR os CT/PET scans

About this study

Official title: WHOLE-BODY DIFFUSION-WEIGHTED MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (WB-DW-MRI) VS CHOLINE-POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY-COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CHOLINE- PET/CT) for Selecting Treatments in Recurrent Prostate Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of whole-body diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (WB-DW- MRI) in detecting metastases by comparing the results with those from choline-positron emission tomography-computed tomography (choline-PET/CT) in patients with metastatic/oligometastatic prostate cancer. Patients with this disease profile who could benefit from treatment with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) were selected and their responses to these techniques were rated.

Read the detailed description

This was a prospective, controlled, unicentric study, involving 46 consecutive patients from our centre who presented biochemical relapse after adjuvant, salvage or radical treatment with external beam radiotherapy, or brachytherapy. After initial tests ( bone scintigraphy, CT, pelvic MRI) 35 patients with oligometastases or without them were selected. 11 patients with multiple metastases were excluded from the study. WB-DW- MRI and choline-PET/CT was then performed on each patient within one week. The results were interpreted by specialists in nuclear medicine and MRI. If they were candidates for treatment with ablative SBRT (SABR) they were then evaluated every three months with both tests.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Cancer, run by Hospital Provincial de Castellon.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

effectiveness of whole-body diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (WB-DW- MRI) in detecting metastases (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02858128, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Aug 2016.
